Hypospadias Surgery and Specialist in Hyderabad

Hypospadias is a common abnormality of the penis. It occurs in 1 out of every 150-200 boys. Hypospadias leads to both cosmetic and functional problems. The main features of hypospadias are an abnormally situated urinary opening (situated on the undersurface of the penis, instead of being at the tip of the penis normally), a penis that is bent downwards (which is called chordee), an abnormal foreskin and abnormal glans penis (glans is the cone-shaped terminal part of the penis). There are many types of hypospadias, based on the severity of each of these defects. For example, the lower the urinary opening and the more severe the chordee, the more severe the hypospadias.

Almost all hypospadias require surgical correction of the defect. Surgery for hypospadias is one of the most challenging operations in entire surgical practice. Thus, hypospadias surgery has to be performed only by experts. This is because good cosmetic & functional results have to be achieved which will result in a good quality of life both during childhood & later during adulthood also. In many cases, a single operation can correct the hypospadias; however in some severe cases, 2 operations may be required.

It is best to perform surgery before school-going age (before 3 years in most cases); ideally, the child should be able to pass urine normally in standing position by the time he goes to school. This will save the child from the psychologic issues later. The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia. A dressing & a catheter (tube to drain urine while the wound is healing) is left for 7-14 days, depending on the severity of hypospadias. The management of the child after surgery is quite simple. The process is discussed with the parents in great detail before the surgery, and most parents are very comfortable managing the child after surgery. The child will receive oral medications after surgery (antibiotic & mild pain-relief medication), and can usually be discharged home in 1 day after the surgery. The stitches are all self-dissolving & need not be removed.
